Government agencies and enterprises are in an unprecedented time and going through the largest digital transformation in history.

The pandemic has vaulted the government headfirst into the next stage of digital transformation powered by a huge surge in data.

Indeed, there’s a good case to be made that digital transformation is likely to fall short unless it is based on a solid foundation of “data transformation.”

To become a truly data-driven organisation, that operates in real-time, agencies are undertaking multiple modernisation initiatives, including advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, the cloud, and data management.

Government agencies are beginning to take a deeper look at capturing data about streaming events. Being able to act as soon as events are generated improves operational responsiveness and organisational effectiveness. The challenge is moving beyond the limited value that static data assessment provides.

Transforming Government Digital Services for the Future – Leveraging Streaming Analytics, Data Management and Advanced Analytics

The government of Indonesia is taking right steps in the direction of utilising data to serve its citizens better. Satu Data Indonesia has been established by President Joko Widodo through Presidential Regulation Number 39 of 2019 is a legal foundation in creating accurate, up-to-date, integrated and accountable data.

Through strengthening data management, agencies can improve integration in planning, implementation and evaluation of development policies.

All stakeholders believe that implementing e government (SPBE) will be key to efficient, high-quality, transparent, and accountable public services by making use of efficiently integrated data from both central and regional governments. 

Satu Data Indonesia is the answer to proper data management, including supporting various urgent government programs such as handling the pandemic, providing social assistance, and digital transformation.

Satu Data Indonesia also plays a strategic role in efforts to develop the digital sector and optimise productive efforts for the advancement of the nation.

Therefore, accelerating the implementation of one data policy is the key to the success of digital transformation and to support the government in resolving strategic issues.

This points to several questions:

• Are the agencies well equipped to manage, process and analyse the volume of data at hand?
• Do the agencies have the technologies to make sure data is standardised and interoperable?
• Are agencies able to uncover insights from those events and make real-time intelligent decisions?
• How about utilising the insights to define, test, and refine projects?

Government missions are no longer static, but continuously in motion, handling the “now”. To be effective, agencies need to continually innovate to provide seamless and easy-to-use services and improve the resilience and security of digital platforms for citizens, businesses, and public officers.

Agencies need a complete streaming data platform that treats data in motion, whether it is driving action or producing real-time analysis. And this platform must be capable of supporting workloads anywhere, anytime across the nation, whether it’s in the cloud, on-prem, or at the edge, and connect them all.

More importantly, data at rest in a datastore isn’t useful when it isn’t being queried and isn’t driving decision-making. Instead, agencies need to start thinking about creating a powerful interface that conducts their data across their organisations and begin handling their data in motion as it is created and flows to those who need it.

OpenGov is pleased to invite you to our exclusive OpenGovLive! Virtual Breakfast Insight aimed at imparting knowledge on how public sector agencies can power mission outcomes, better serve citizens, enhance IT efficiency, and maximise productivity with a platform built for data in motion.

This session serves as a great peer-to-peer learning platform to gain insights and practical solutions to understand the value of event streaming architecture to deliver rich, citizen-centric experiences and enhance real-time operations, to innovate and win in a digital-first world.
